And if opinions on the internet aren't a good proof, then just look at album and single sales and please don't come with the "waah.. but the ilegal downloads and iTunes are the reason" because they're not. Ayu don't have any Top 10 yearly single anymore or Top 5 yearly album, so it's obvious there's not as many people interested in her music (and that wasn't my initial point, my initial point was that people didn't like the music she was doing since My Story, but because people always think this info come out of the blue and they don't want to believe that, I have to be more especific).

Do ANY females even GET CLOSE to Top 5 Album of the Year or Top 10 single? No, because the market seems to be focusing on the male artists nowadays. IMHO, Ayu's still going strong as one of the few females to consistently rank up there with the 'big boys' :]
